commit 816e846c2eb9129a3e0afa5f920c8bbc71efecaa upstream.

Inside of start_xmit() the call to check if the connection is up and the
queueing of the packets for later transmission is not atomic which leaves
a window where cm_rep_handler can run, set the connection up, dequeue
pending packets and leave the subsequently queued packets by start_xmit()
sitting on neigh-&gt;queue until they're dropped when the connection is torn
down. This only applies to connected mode. These dropped packets can
really upset TCP, for example, and cause multi-minute delays in
transmission for open connections.

Here's the code in start_xmit where we check to see if the connection is
up:

       if (ipoib_cm_get(neigh)) {
               if (ipoib_cm_up(neigh)) {
                       ipoib_cm_send(dev, skb, ipoib_cm_get(neigh));
                       goto unref;
               }
       }

The race occurs if cm_rep_handler execution occurs after the above
connection check (specifically if it gets to the point where it acquires
priv-&gt;lock to dequeue pending skb's) but before the below code snippet in
start_xmit where packets are queued.

       if (skb_queue_len(&amp;neigh-&gt;queue) &lt; IPOIB_MAX_PATH_REC_QUEUE) {
               push_pseudo_header(skb, phdr-&gt;hwaddr);
               spin_lock_irqsave(&amp;priv-&gt;lock, flags);
               __skb_queue_tail(&amp;neigh-&gt;queue, skb);
               spin_unlock_irqrestore(&amp;priv-&gt;lock, flags);
       } else {
               ++dev-&gt;stats.tx_dropped;
               dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
       }

The patch acquires the netif tx lock in cm_rep_handler for the section
where it sets the connection up and dequeues and retransmits deferred
skb's.

[ Upstream commit 1029361084d18cc270f64dfd39529fafa10cfe01 ]

On reboot SM can program port pkey table before ipoib registered its
event handler, which could result in missing pkey event and leave root
interface with initial pkey value from index 0.

Since OPA port starts with invalid pkey in index 0, root interface will
fail to initialize and stay down with no-carrier flag.

For IB ipoib interface may end up with pkey different from value
opensm put in pkey table idx 0, resulting in connectivity issues
(different mcast groups, for example).

Close the window by calling event handler after registration
to make sure ipoib pkey is in sync with port pkey table.

<title>IB/ipoib: Avoid memory leak if the SA returns a different DGID</title>

<id>64e3d455331d456e1421b60e91e50ad8e340698f</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 439000892ee17a9c92f1e4297818790ef8bb4ced ]

The ipoib path database is organized around DGIDs from the LLADDR, but the
SA is free to return a different GID when asked for path. This causes a
bug because the SA's modified DGID is copied into the database key, even
though it is no longer the correct lookup key, causing a memory leak and
other malfunctions.

Ensure the database key does not change after the SA query completes.

Demonstration of the bug is as  follows
ipoib wants to send to GID fe80:0000:0000:0000:0002:c903:00ef:5ee2, it
creates new record in the DB with that gid as a key, and issues a new
request to the SM.
Now, the SM from some reason returns path-record with other SGID (for
example, 2001:0000:0000:0000:0002:c903:00ef:5ee2 that contains the local
subnet prefix) now ipoib will overwrite the current entry with the new
one, and if new request to the original GID arrives ipoib  will not find
it in the DB (was overwritten) and will create new record that in its
turn will also be overwritten by the response from the SM, and so on
till the driver eats all the device memory.

<title>IB/ipoib: Update broadcast object if PKey value was changed in index 0</title>

[ Upstream commit 9a9b8112699d78e7f317019b37f377e90023f3ed ]

Update the broadcast address in the priv-&gt;broadcast object when the
Pkey value changes in index 0, otherwise the multicast GID value will
keep the previous value of the PKey, and will not be updated.
This leads to interface state down because the interface will keep the
old PKey value.

For example, in SR-IOV environment, if the PF changes the value of PKey
index 0 for one of the VFs, then the VF receives PKey change event that
triggers heavy flush. This flush calls update_parent_pkey that update the
broadcast object and its relevant members. If in this case the multicast
GID will not be updated, the interface state will be down.

Before calling ipoib_stop, rtnl_lock should be taken, then
the flow clears the IPOIB_FLAG_ADMIN_UP and IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP
flags, and waits for mcast completion if IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY
is set.

On the other hand, the flow of multicast join task initializes
a mcast completion, sets the IPOIB_MCAST_FLAG_BUSY and calls
ipoib_mcast_join. If IPOIB_FLAG_OPER_UP flag is not set, this
call returns EINVAL without setting the mcast completion and
leads to a deadlock.

not release the rtnl_lock. As a result panic occurs with the

[ Upstream commit 16ba3defb8bd01a9464ba4820a487f5b196b455b ]

When using enhanced mode for IPoIB, two threads may execute xmit in
parallel to two different TX queues while the target is the same.
In this case, both of them will add the same neighbor to the path's
neigh link list and we might see the following message:

  list_add double add: new=ffff88024767a348, prev=ffff88024767a348...
  WARNING: lib/list_debug.c:31__list_add_valid+0x4e/0x70

  __qdisc_run+0x176/0x5d0
  __dev_queue_xmit+0x1f5/0xb10
  __dev_queue_xmit+0x55/0xb10

Analysis:
Two SKB are scheduled to be transmitted from two cores.
In ipoib_start_xmit, both gets NULL when calling ipoib_neigh_get.
Two calls to neigh_add_path are made. One thread takes the spin-lock
and calls ipoib_neigh_alloc which creates the neigh structure,
then (after the __path_find) the neigh is added to the path's neigh
link list. When the second thread enters the critical section it also
calls ipoib_neigh_alloc but in this case it gets the already allocated
ipoib_neigh structure, which is already linked to the path's neigh
link list and adds it again to the list. Which beside of triggering
the list, it creates a loop in the linked list. This loop leads to
endless loop inside path_rec_completion.

Solution:
Check list_empty(&amp;neigh-&gt;list) before adding to the list.
Add a similar fix in "ipoib_multicast.c::ipoib_mcast_send"

[ Upstream commit b4b678b06f6eef18bff44a338c01870234db0bc9 ]

When ndo_open and ndo_stop are called RTNL lock should be held.
In this specific case ipoib_ib_dev_open calls the offloaded ndo_open
which re-sets the number of TX queue assuming RTNL lock is held.
Since RTNL lock is not held, RTNL assert will fail.

[ Upstream commit 27d41d29c7f093f6f77843624fbb080c1b4a8b9c ]

Since ipoib_cm_tx_start function and ipoib_cm_tx_reap function
belong to different work queues, they can run in parallel.
In this case if ipoib_cm_tx_reap calls list_del and release the
lock, ipoib_cm_tx_start may acquire it and call list_del_init
on the already deleted object.
Changing list_del to list_del_init in ipoib_cm_tx_reap fixes the problem.

In order to resolve a situation where a few process delete
the same list element in sequence and cause panic, list_del
is replaced with list_del_init. In this case if the first
process that calls list_del releases the lock before acquiring
it again, other processes who can acquire the lock will call
list_del_init.

[ Upstream commit 89a3987ab7a923c047c6dec008e60ad6f41fac22 ]

The ipoib_vlan_add function calls rtnl_unlock after free_netdev,
rtnl_unlock not only releases the lock, but also calls netdev_run_todo.
The latter function browses the net_todo_list array and completes the
unregistration of all its net_device instances. If we call free_netdev
before rtnl_unlock, then netdev_run_todo call over the freed device causes
panic.
To fix, move rtnl_unlock call before free_netdev call.
